We have a number of very powerful women in the world now - Mrs. Angela Merkel, who the Germans call Mutti. What did we call Mrs. Margaret Thatcher? When she was minister of education, she stopped the children's free school milk.

Mrs. Thatcher stopped it. They called her "Maggie Thatcher, milk snatcher."
